I have a question regarding power consumption: How many watts does an FTTH (fibre to the home) cable consume? I'm curious if the energy consumption is significant and how it compares to other network technologies. Thanks in advance for your answers!

An FTTH (fibre to the home) cable itself consumes very little energy, around 0.07 watts. In comparison, a typical RJ45 cable (copper Ethernet) consumes around 3 watts. This makes fibre optic cables much more energy efficient in operation and can lead to lower operating costs and a smaller environmental footprint in the long term.

Is this the correct cable for the connection between the Swisscom socket and the Swisscom box/router?

Hello, I am interested in this product and have a few questions: 1. I have noticed that the price is significantly higher compared to the products also on sale, e.g. "InLine". Can you please explain to me what the difference is? Are there differences in the quality or the maximum data transfer rate? For me as a layman, no significant differences were recognisable in a direct comparison. 2. I need the cable to connect the fibre optic socket in the bedroom to the Internet box in the living room. Is this cable suitable for this? Can this cable be connected directly from the fibre optic socket to the Internet box (router)? 3. I have read that previous fibre optic cables must not be kinked. Is it still possible to lay the cable at 90°, e.g. around a corner or from the wall to the ceiling? Thank you for clarifying my questions.

Hello Anonymous; I can only answer your questions poorly. The price difference is probably not in the cable, but in the necessary cable unit. At the time, I only received the cable without a cable lug from digitec. This, bought separately, cost at least another CHF 30 And a kink in an optical cable is a no-go. The trick is to make the arc over a curve with several times the length of a 90° arc. The arc is therefore to be laid in 3-dimensional and not just in one plane. I hope to have helped a little anyway. Greetings from Central Switzerland.
